Although some university officials have painted a flattering picture of the “win-win” partnership of freshmen men living in Greek residence halls, one freshman student says his experience has been far from ideal.

The Frogs, led by head coach Jim Wacker, did something that hadn’t been done in 52 years. They blew out an opponent on its home field by beating Utah State 62-18.
